If so, you will find the book Being a Happy Teenager by Australian writer Andrew Matthews useful. In his book, Matthews tells us how to have a happy life and answers to the questions of teenagers.There are many subjects such as parents and friends, and the book says we should stop being angry and forgive. The book tells us useful skills, such as how to put what you have learned into pictures of your mind to make your memory better. Many teenagers think that happiness es from a good exam result or praise from other people. But you can still be happy when there are no such “good” things. Success es from a good attitude. If you learn from problems，you will have success in the future.Some schoolboys have problems such as being too tall or too short. But Matthews tells us happiness es from thinking about things in a positive way. If you are tall，people notice you, and you can get a better view at the movie; if you are short, your clothes and shoes take less room in your bedroom! This is Matthewsmost important lesson: You choose to be happy!第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AIts incredibly frustrating when puters slow down or stop working for seemingly no reason at all.And even after all the diagnostics，upgrades，and money spent，the amount of time waiting for that spinning wheel or hourglass to disappear never seems to get any shorter.Your once new，lightning-fast puter just keeps getting slower as each day passes.Fortunately，theres a new device that has recently hit the market.What is it then?Its called Xtra-PC.And if you have an old，slow puter，it is exactly what youve been waiting for.Xtra-PC is a small thumb drive you simply plug into your puters USB port and it instantly transforms your old puter to like new.It works with any puter(Mac or Windows)laptop，desktop，and netbooks made in 2004 or later.It is the cheapest and easiest solution to getting your puter fast again.With Xtra-PC，theres no need to spend hundreds of dollars on your old puterwhich only has it peter_out in another year or two.It makes no sense.But getting Xtra-PC does，which is why the big puter panies are against this incredibly powerful little device!How Does It Work?Super easy!

shows that some peoples biological clock plays a powerful role for their life expectancy, regardless of lifestyle choices.Published in the latest issue of Aging on Wednesday, the study has found the most definitive evidence to explain why some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others.Geneticist Steve Horvath from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), led a team of 65 scientists around the world to record age-related changes to human DNA, analyse blood samples collected from 13, 000 people and estimate their lifespan.A higher biological age, regardless of actual age, consistently predicts an earlier death, the study says.“You get people who are vegan, sleep 10 hours a day, have a low-stress job, and still end up dying young，” Horvath said in a statement.“We have shown some people have a faster innate aging rate.” The findings discovered that 5 percent of the population ages at a faster biological rate, which translated to a roughly 50 percent higher than average risk of death at any age.“The great hope is that we find anti-aging interventions that would slow your innate aging rate，” Horvath said, adding that “this is an important milestone to realizing this dream.” 文章大意：本文立足于科技前沿，据说生物年龄才是制约一个人寿命的重要因素而不是我们的实际年龄。24Some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others because_D_.Atheir biological clock is not powerful enoughBthe most definitive evidence has been foundCthey have a higher actual age than othersDthey ages at a relatively faster biological rate25How was the study conducted？_A_ABy collecting and analyzing dataBBy interviewing lots of peopleCBy researching previous studiesDBy studying different lifestyles解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“to record age-related changes to human DNA, analyse blood samples collected from 13, 000 people and estimate their lifespan”可知，科学家是通过实践得出的结论。26According to the study, it can be inferred that_C_.Apeople who keep healthy lifestyle tend to live longerBpeoples lifespan can be predicted by their ageC5 percent of people are believed to have a faster innate aging rateDanti-aging interventions have proved to slow the innate aging rate解析：推理判断题。由第六段“The findings discovered that 5 percent of the population ages at a faster biological rate”可知，C项表述与之对应。27Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？_C_AWe all should keep healthy lifestyleBGeneticist finds anti-aging interventionsCBiological clock predicts life expectancyDHorvath builds an important milestone解析：主旨大意题。由第一段可知，生物钟对人们的寿命预期起到了重要作用。COld FossilsScientists have found what they think is probably the oldest fossil on Earth, a remnant of life from 3.7 billion years ago when Earths skies were orange and its oceans green.In a newly melted part of Greenland, Australian scientists found the leftover structure from a munity of microbes(微生物) that lived on an ancient seafloor.Based on their analysis of the fossils, the researchers determined that they are 220 million years older than those discovered in Western Australia, which were 3.48 billion years old.The discovery shows life may have formed quicker and more easily than once thought, about half a billion years after Earth formed.And that may also give hope for life forming elsewhere, such as Mars, said study co-author Martin VanKranendonk of the University of New South Wales and director of the Australian Center for Astrobiology.“It gives us an idea how our planet evolved and how life gained_a_foothold，” VanKranendonk said.Scientists had thought it would take at least half a billion years for life to form after the molten Earth started to cool a bit, but this shows it could have happened quicker, he said.Thats because the newly found fossil is far too plex to have developed soon after the planets first life forms, he said.In an outcrop of rocks that used to be covered with ice and snow which melted after an exceptionally warm spring, the Australian team found stromatolites(叠层石), which are layered structures that are often produced by a munity of microbes.The stromatolites were about 1 to 4 centimeters high.“It is like the house left behind made by the microbes，” VanKranendonk said.“Scientists used the layers of ash from volcanoes and tiny zircon(锆石) with uranium and estimated that they date back to 3.7 billion years ago.” The dating seems about right, said Abigail Allwood, a NASA astrobiologist who found the previous oldest fossil, from 3.48 billion years ago, in Australia.But Allwood said she is not pletely convinced that what VanKranendonks team found once was alive.She said the evidence wasnt conclusive enough that it was life and not a geologic quirk(地质巧合)“It would be nice to have more evidence, but in these rocks thats a lot to ask，” Allwood said in an email.文章大意：科学家发现了世界上最古老的化石。28The underlined words “gained a foothold” in Paragraph 3 mean_D_.Acontinued BchangedCincreased Dstarted29We can learn from Paragraph 4_C_.Athe fossil appeared soon after the birth of the earthBthe fossil formed soon after the earths first lifeClife formed earlier than the newly found fossilDlife appeared about half a billion years ago解析：细节理解题。由该段最后一句话“.the newly found fossil is far too plex to have developed soon after the planets first life forms.”可知。30What is Abigail Allwoods attitude towards the newly found fossil？_B_ANeutral. BSceptical.CObjective. DSupportive.31According to the passage，_D_.Athe previous fossils are a geologic quirk Bthe previous fossils are made up of stromatolitesCthe newly found fossils e from Western AustraliaDthe newly found fossils have a history of 3.7 billion years解析：细节理解题。由第六段最后一句话“.estimated that they date back to 3.7 billion years ago.” 可知。DBob Dylan，the 75-year-old rock legend received the Nobel Prize for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.Sara Danius，permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy，said Dylan had been chosen because he was a great poet in the English speaking tradition.Dylan，born on May 24,1941 is an American songwriter，singer，artist，and writer.He has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades.Much of his most celebrated work dates from the 1960s.Early songs such as Tangled up in Blue，Blowing in the Wind and The Times Are a Changing became anthems for the American civil fights and anti-war movements.Leaving behind his initial base in the American folk music revival(复兴)，his six-minute single Like a Rolling Stone，recorded in 1965，enlarged the range of popular music.Dylans lyrics incorporate a wide range of political，social，philosophical，and literary features.His recording career，spanning more than 50 years，has explored the traditions in American song-from folk，blues，and country to rock and roll，and rockabilly to English，Scottish，and Irish folk music，embracing even jazz and the Great American Songbook.Dylan performs with guitar, keyboards，and harmonica.Backed by a changing lineup of musicians，he has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been called the Never Ending Tour.His acplishments as a recording artist and performer have been central to his career，but songwriting is considered his greatest contribution.Since 1994，Dylan has published six books of drawings and paintings，and his work has been exhibited in major art galleries.As a musician，Dylan has sold more than 100 million records，making him one of the best-selling artists of all time.He has also received numerous awards including eleven Grammy Awards，a Golden Globe Award，and an Academy Award.In May 2012，Dylan received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama.文章大意：75岁的摇滚乐传奇人物，Bob Dylan获得了2016年诺贝尔文学奖，他诗一样的歌词寓意深刻，激动人心，真正赋予了音乐以灵魂。Bob Dylan直接影响了一大批同时代和后来的音乐人。32Why was Bob Dylan awarded the Nobel Prize？_B_AHe invented many music expressions.BHis lyrics in his songs rhyme like poems.CHis works the characteristics of Rock.DHe changed the English speaking tradition.解析：细节理解题。第一段“.new poetic expressions.a great poet.”迪伦颁奖理由是在伟大的美国歌曲传统内创造了新的诗歌表达。33Which of Dylans works expanded the area of popular music？_A_ALike a Rolling Stone.BBlowing in the Wind.CTangled up in Blue.DThe Times Are a Changing.34What does the underlined word“incorporate”in Paragraph 3 probably mean？_C_AdestroyBanalyzeCcoverDdescribe解析：词义猜测题。根据上下文意可知：鲍勃迪伦的歌词涉猎面广，具有政治、社会和文学特征，充满了哲理性。由此可推断出该词的含义。35What contributes most to Dylans career？_D_Aposing Poems.BGiving performances.CMaking records.DWriting songs.解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可得出答案。在他的职业生涯成就中，舞台演出是核心，但是歌曲创作占最大的分量。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Giant Panda Is No Longer EndangeredA leading international group has taken the giant panda off its endangered list thanks to decades of conservation efforts, but Chinas government is unwilling to accept the change, saying it did not view the status of the countrys beloved symbol as any less serious.The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) said in a report that the panda is now classified as a “vulnerable” instead of “endangered” species, reflecting its growing numbers in the wild in southern China._36.B_That is the result of work by Chinese agencies to carry out hunting bans and expand forest reserves.In a statement, Chinas State Forestry Administration said that it doubted the classification change because pandas natural habitats have been mainly separated by human causes.The animals live in small, isolated groups of as few as 10 pandas that struggle
